How do you start your Jeep?

[VAhlene]

The other day when I got in my Jeep and started it up my wife asks me why I turn my key half way let the guage cluster lights come on and go off before I started my Jeep... Honestly I didn't have an answer just habbit I guess. How do you guys start your Jeep? Do you just crank it on once Key is in ignition or are you like me half turn till dash lights go out and then turn her on?

All in one motion. Not much on foreplay.

I turn it over to aux and wait a second before turning the rest if the way to start. In 2 motions. I have no clue why though.

Mostly I just start it in one turning motion.


But if you pause it for about 2 seconds and listen real carefully (it's not very loud) you can hear the fuel pump prime. Any electric fuel pump will do this. Sometimes I will pause mine in the winter time when it is real cold but I don't think it makes too much difference. It always starts right up either way.

Turn the key to start, and vrooooom. Ok, putt-putt not vrooooom, but you get the idea!!

If I had to wait for all the lights to come on and off, before cranking it...
I would not have any coffee left.:icon_wink:
So key in and start it..and look at the dash after to see if there are any lights left on like the brake light (ebrake) LOL!!!
Then get the pedal down.........

I do this. I wait and listen for the fuel pump to kick on before I crank it all the way. It's a habit I picked up after owning a Lexus that fried fuel pump control modules just about every other week.

Clutch, brake, and then key in one motion.

Wrong kinda vroom...

 

[profdlp]

My vroom only has two o's. What am I doing wrong? :icon_confused:

 

[CactusJacked]

You gotta hold the key on longer.
Oh, and the fan doesn't go vroooom, it goes whoooosh!

I'll have to ask my chauffeur. :laughing1:

Seriously, I pause a second or two at the ACC. I drove a 93 Pontiac Grand-Am for 5 or 6 years and if you didn't it wouldn't start on the first try. Fuel pump I think.
